Focuses on lateral-torsional buckling and the optimization of I-beam profiles.
The text provides a rigorous look at the metallurgy behind the design. Mukhanov explains why certain grades of steel are chosen for specific climates or load types. He bridges the gap between (how atoms in the metal slide under pressure) and structural application (how a bridge girder resists bending). This helps designers choose materials that balance cost with brittle fracture resistance. 4. Practical Application: From Girders to Trusses design of metal structures by kk mukhanov pdf
